About this course
Many active pharmaceutical ingredients have aversive taste attributes and are unpleasant to taste. Thus, availing palatable, well-flavoured products is not an afterthought – it is the responsible thing to do. However, while vital, flavour is highly complex and developing flavouring drug products challenging. This course is for individuals working or considering a career in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors where competencies in flavouring science and practice are essential.
Developed by an expert team of pharmaceutical formulation scientists and flavourists, this course provides a fundamental and applied understanding of pharmaceutical flavouring to allow you to correctly select, qualify and deploy available flavouring solutions in pharmaceutical products.
The course covers conception, characterisation, selection, regulations, chemistry, quality assurance and safety aspects of pharmaceutical flavours currently available. You will be introduced to flavour technologies and their implications as far as processing and product stability are concerned.
